Jorge Boehringer - Garden of Memory 2008

Jorge Boehringer and "flour" dancer performance piece in the Chapel of Tenderness at the Garden of Memory 2008 summer solstice concert at the Chapel of the Chimes Julia Morgan Columbarium in Oakland California. Tips: To better appreciate the sonic composition and build up of layers of sound, listen also to the audio only. A child's voice can be heard chiming in briefly near the end as the sonic collage climaxes. Appropriate to the Columbarium, the flour and choreography was likely meant to symbolize grappling with memory of a lost loved one by reveling in their ashes.
